Nice game! the reindeer were a bit too annoying for my taste at a certain point. Also as some others stated.. I can't really see the connecton to the theme
Do you think it will be better if the reindeer did not knock you back at all? So getting hit by it would just make you drop your gift and your movement wouldn't be affected at all.
Yeah that could maybe work. I kept focusing the other character because I got knocked back so badly
Amazing work! Can't see a theme but its really fun and has great graphics!
Oh, the spirit of christmas! Always remember it kids, taking from other is always twice as good!
Nice game, very good art!
Not fitting the theme for me, it was really fun doe. 4 stars
Great and fun game, perfect for chrismas ! The gameplay is very fun, the graphics are very beatifull, the music and the sounds are great, the IA is perfect, but I don't really understand how the game fit with the theme. Good work !
Really fun game and I can imagine it would be even better if I could play it with a friend. The visuals look really nice and the UI design and layout is just solid. I especially like the timer on the ground - visible to all players and it does not obscure anyone. So much polish and juice for a game made in 3 days - awesome work!!
Nice job on this! There's a ton of polish and the music is great!
amazing game, 5/5 for me
A very good game. I can't believe this is a game made in 3 days. This very polished also has different game modes which greatly improves the game, it also has good music and a very nice aesthetic. I love it. VERY GOOD WORK!
this was really neat! really appreciated the polish, and didn't notice whatever you said slipped through on discord :) probably would've been better with someone else, but the AI seemed like a worthy enough foe. Design wise I'm curious why stealing from your opponent rewards you with double points? It already gives you double points as it's a zero sum game, making it essentially three times as valuable.
The double points (and triple value) is to encourage stealing and interaction between the 2 players rather than just gathering the closest gift to your tree. Theres more risk more reward, especially when you try to steal a heavy gift and become slower. You dont get to see it much against a bot, but in a pvp scenario there would be more body blocking and sabotaging to prevent a steal by knocking the other player into a reindeer or away from their tree.
Totally makes sense, I actually did end up doing a lot of body blocking against the bot so I did get to experience that! It just naturally seemed to me that taking from the other player was the way to go without the extra incentive, but definitely I can see how extra points can help push people in that direction. The more player interaction in games like this the better obviously :)
Lots of fun, looks good and the music is nice. Played with my gf and she kicked my a$$ .
It's a really good game. It's polished, looks good and has good music. I even tried it in versus mode with a friend and it was fun.
I've seen you support too many people , and decided to check out your submission , your game is incredible , I like the music , the atmosphere and the design and I truly appreciate your hard thank you for this amazing submission!
Love this game , incredible polish , very fun to play , but the gameplay is a bit repetitive , more small mechanics that happen every so often would make it less repetitive. But overall good game :)
Wow such good polish and so much game in such a little time - Well done! Brilliant Xmas theme :)
